Just when I thought the holidays were over, another package arrived..... from MO! I separated the Siglo IIs from the packing and placed them in a humidor to rest for several days. It looked like the postman had sat on the package, but the cigars were not damaged. I had never smoked this petite corona before and it took a lot of willpower to keep from lighting one immediately.

I planned on writing a review on each of the three cigars, but that would only be a waste of space. They were identical in every way.... as they should be. Before lighting a cigar, I like to inspect it closely. The golden brown wrappers were smooth & dry. Pre-light draw was perfect, despite the slight postman's butt-pressing.

The cigars lit and burned effortlessly. The smooth draw allowed for volumes of smoke. A slightly dry taste at the start blossomed into a sweet woody flavor. At the half way point, I noticed a spicier flavor developing. The Siglo II never reached the spiciness of the many Siglo Is I've smoked, but that's not what I was looking for. I nubbed each one of the samples in about 50 minutes and am anticipating smoking plenty more of these in the future. Thank you Cgars LTD for the chance to participate in your fine taste test
